    O C. It has a negative connotation.

    Explanation:

    A negative connotation is a word used in order to establish a perjorative meaning and draw the reader's attention to something bad and sad and uncomfortable. An example of the use of negative connotation occurs when the author refers to Columbus's trip to America as an "invasion and not a discovery." The intention of the author is to make the author worry about the invasion of colombo to America, since America was already inhabited by natives who suffered immensely from the colonization process and suffer the consequences to this day. The author wants the reader to feel uncomfortable, just as the Indians do.
